Dlx5 and Dlx6 homeobox genes are required for specification of the mammalian vestibular apparatus

The mammalian inner ear is a complex organ that develops from a surface ectoderm into distinct auditory and vestibular components. Congenital malformation of these two components resulting from single or multiple gene defects is a common clinical occurrence and is observed in patients with split hand/split foot malformation, a malformation which is phenocopied by Dlx5/6 null mice. Analysis of mice lacking Dlx5 and Dlx6 homeobox genes identified their restricted and combined expression in the otic epithelium as a crucial regulator of vestibular cell fates. Otic induction initiates without incident in Dlx5/6(-/-) embryos, but dorsal otic derivatives including the semicircular ducts, utricle, saccule, and endolymphatic duct fail to form. Dlx5 and Dlx6 seem to influence vestibular cell fates by restricting Pax2 and activating Gbx2 and Bmp4 expression domains. Given their proximity to the disease locus and the observed phenotype in Dlx5/6 null mice, Dlx5/6 are likely candidates to mediate the inner ear defects observed in patients with split hand/split foot malformation.     

The Disease Cycle of Mango Malformation Induced by Fusarium moniliforme var. subglutinans and the Curative Effects of Mangiferin-Metal Chelates

Evidence is presented to suggest that the bunchy top, die-back, abnormal inflorescence and blossom blight disease of Mangifera indica are interlinked and can be expressed as a disease cycle in mango malformation. The morphological and biochemical connections among these symptoms, induced by Fusarium moniliforme var. subglutinans Wollenw. and Reink., are appraised. Partial control of the mango malformation has been accomplished by spraying the diseased parts with mangiferin-Zn²⁺ and mangiferin-Cu2+ chelates. The salutory effect of niangiferin-metal chelates is evidenced by the revival of normal balance of mangiferin and the micronutrients in the diseased parts, dechne in the fungal population and emergence of healthy shoots.

Chronic renal failure in children.

Seventy-seven children with chronic renal failure were examined at one hospital in the province of Quebec between 1970 and 1975; this represents an incidence of 2.5 per million population per year. The entities responsible for chronic renal failure were urinary tract malformation (in 36%), chronic glomerulonephritis (in 22%), congenital renal parenchymal malformation (in 21%) and hereditary nephropathy (in 13%). The evolution of chronic renal failure in children with either vesicoureteral reflux or a posterior urethral valve seemed to be related more to the initial severity of the disease than to the age at the time of diagnosis. Hence any screening program designed to detect kidney disease in schoolchildren would not prevent chronic renal failure, since at that age renal parenchymal damage seems to be irreversible. The manner in which chronic glomerulonephritis evolved depended on whether the nephrotic syndrome was present and on the type of histologic lesion. Children with congenital renal hypoplasia or dysplasia often presented with seizures due to hypertensive encephalopathy without obvious symptoms or signs of pre-existing renal disease. Among patients with familial nephropathy many of those with cystinosis underwent successful renal transplantation early in life.     

Mouse model of split hand/foot malformation type I

Split hand/foot malformation type I (SHFM1) disease locus maps to chromosome 7q21.3-q22, a region that includes the distal-less-related (dll) genes DLX5 and DLX6. However, incomplete penetrance, variable expressivity, segregation distortion, and syndromic association with other anomalies have so far prevented the identification of the SHFM1 gene(s) in man. Here we show that the targeted double inactivation of Dlx5 and Dlx6 in the mouse causes in homozygous mutant animals bilateral ectrodactyly with a severe defect of the central ray of the hindlimbs, a malformation typical of SHFM1. This is the first evidence that the role of dll/Dlx genes in appendage development is conserved from insects to mammals and proves their involvement in SHFM1.

Familial Klippel-Feil syndrome and paracentric inversion inv(8)(q22.2q23.3).

Klippel-Feil Syndrome (KFS) is characterized by congenital vertebral fusion believed to result from faulty segmentation along the embryo's developing axis. KFS appears to be a heterogeneous disease often associated with craniofacial malformation. Here we provide the first evidence of a familial KFS gene locus on 8q, where an inv(8)(q22.2q23.3) has been found segregating with congenital vertebral fusion. The four-generation KF2-01 family present with dominant form of the KFS where the sequence of vertebral fusion was confined to the cervical spine (always including the C2-3 fusion and reduced expression of the C4-5 and C6-7 fusions) in association with malformation of laryngeal cartilages and mild-to-severe vocal impairment.     

RTK mutations and human syndromeswhen good receptors turn bad

Mutations in receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) have been linked to an increasing number of inherited human disease syndromes, including dwarfism, craniosynostosis, heritable cancer susceptibility, venous malformation and Piebaldism. Both gain-of-function mutations resulting in constitutive receptor activation, and loss-of-function mutations resulting in non-functional or dominant negative receptors, have been observed. This review summarizes RTK families that are involved in inherited syndromes, describes the molecular consequences of the disease mutations, and predicts that many novel mutations remain to be identified.     

Developmental ocular disease of raptors

Sixteen raptors, including one eagle, two falcons, five hawks and eight owls, were found to have developmental ocular lesions. The most common lesion was microphthalmia. Other findings included cataract, microphakia, retinal dysplasia, malformation of the ciliary body, choroid and pecten, and lentoid formation. Specific causes for these lesions could not be determined. It is hypothesized that developmental ocular disease probably is more common than available reports indicate.     

遗传病的生物治疗

遗传病尤其是单基因遗传病是儿童致畸致残的主要原因之一,给家庭、社会带来沉重的经济、心理负担。目前绝大多数遗传病临床治疗以对症治疗为主,尚缺乏有效的治疗方法。随着生命与医学科学的发展,近年来以靶向致病分子或其相关信号通路、靶分子的外源物质补充、转基因、RNA干扰、基因组编辑等生物学技术为代表的生物学治疗措施开始应用于遗传病的治疗,并取得了一定的疗效。但目前大多数遗传病的生物学治疗仍局限于动物实验研究,今后在继续研发基于致病机制的新治疗策略的同时,将关注如何开展临床试验,为最终安全、有效应用于临床患者奠定基础。     

Mutations in LAMB1 Cause Cobblestone Brain Malformation without Muscular or Ocular Abnormalities

Cobblestone brain malformation (COB) is a neuronal migration disorder characterized by protrusions of neurons beyond the first cortical layer at the pial surface of the brain. It is usually seen in association with dystroglycanopathy types of congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) and ocular abnormalities termed muscle-eye-brain disease. Here we report homozygous deleterious mutations in LAMB1, encoding laminin subunit beta-1, in two families with autosomal-recessive COB. Affected individuals displayed a constellation of brain malformations including cortical gyral and white-matter signal abnormalities, severe cerebellar dysplasia, brainstem hypoplasia, and occipital encephalocele, but they had less apparent ocular or muscular abnormalities than are typically observed in COB. LAMB1 is localized to the pial basement membrane, suggesting that defective connection between radial glial cells and the pial surface mediated by LAMB1 leads to this malformation.     

First evidence of ethylene production by Fusarium mangiferae associated with mango malformation

Malformation is arguably the most crucial disease of mango (Mangifera indica L.) at present. It is receiving great attention not only because of its widespread and destructive nature but also because of its etiology and control is not absolutely understood. Recently, Fusarium mangiferae is found to be associated with mango malformation disease. There are indications that stress ethylene production could be involved in the disease. Here we have shown the first direct evidence of production of ethylene in pure culture of F. mangiferae obtained from mango. The study also revealed that all the isolates dissected from mango acquire morphological features of F. mangiferae showing most similarity to the features of species with accepted standard features. The isolates of F. mangiferae from mango were observed to produce ethylene in significant amounts, ranging from 9.28–13.66 n mol/g dry wt/day. The findings presented here suggest that F. mangiferae could contribute to the malformation of mango by producing ethylene and probably stimulating stress ethylene production in malformed tissue of mango. Ethylene might be produced through 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase-type ethylene-forming-enzyme (EFE) pathway in Fusarium sp, which needs to be investigated.
